The truth here is so ever relevant, is so simple and profound. I think I might pop it into my next book. Sharing yet again:

I hate when I go to bed early on a Saturday night and wake up Sunday morning only to discover we’ve gone to war in the Middle East without the consent of Congress. 😡

The disparity btwn what’s actually happening in Los Angeles and the way it’s being mischaracterized is one of the biggest stress tests of modern media in recent memory. Botted socials, AI, old clips, declining literacy—it’s like seeing a broken emergency response system hit by a storm.

Los Angeles population is roughly 4M+ people. It’s a massive city, folks. The combined 4700 National Guard and Marines have been sent to about a 3-block area to aggressively eat lunch and watch peaceful protestors sing and dance. 👇🏽 💃🏽🎶🕺🏼 So now you know. Keep lifting the veil, LA fam!

BREAKING: ICE is preparing to deploy tactical units to five cities run by Democratic leaders, according to two sources familiar with the planning of future ICE operations.

While Trump was demeaning Pres. Zelensky in the Oval Office and sneering he has “no cards,” Zelensky was planning a major Russian attack that has successfully damaged or destroyed some 41 aircraft deep inside Russia.

Karoline Leavitt said the Trump regime is pushing for the trades while defunding Harvard. Now, they’re defunding Job Corps. They aren’t advocating for trades people. They want uneducated folks with no skills to work for any wage and any condition www.dol.gov/newsroom/rel...

Chris Murphy on Joni Ernst: "I think everybody in that audience knows they're going to die, they would just rather die in old age at 85 or 90 instead of dying at 40. And the reality is that when you lose your healthcare, you are much more at risk of early death."

Next time someone in Congress glibly dismisses your need for healthcare, remember that they have some of the best healthcare in the country. And it was paid for by YOU.

Here’s the thing, if they are picking up folks working in the country illegally, I’m going to need to see some white guys also being arrested for employing people working illegally in the country. Otherwise, it’s just racism.

No kings, masters, overlords or any of that bullshit. Time to take the country back.

Because of Trump's dismantling of USAID, 60,000 metric tons of food that were bound to serve the poorest kids on earth are now on the brink of rotting in America. Our anti-hunger groups are ready to spring into action. What say you, Mr. President?

“The fear to speak. In America?” CBS’ Scott Pelley asked. “If our government is—in Lincoln’s words—‘of the people, by the people and for the people’—then why are we afraid to speak?” www.americaamerica.news/p/snapshot-s...

Her stats line up with CDC data…

Today is the day we honor those who died overseas stopping the same thing many of you are ignoring here at home--fascism.

Red state Dems…

Go ahead Texas. Please display the original Ten Commandments in every classroom.

Even after all this, the @nytimes continues to normalize it

Red food dye isn’t the number one killer of kids. Guns are…

How incredibly awful is this current regime? They made me agree with Josh Hawley…

Our trade deal so far is no tariffs on Rolls Royces and Bentleys and our refugee policy is white South Africans only.

They've arrested the mayor of Newark now. Congratulations, America. Welcome to full-blown fascism. Until my dying day I will curse every scumbag piece-of-shit who voted for this. Fuck every single one of you subhumans to hell and back.

This part

This was chilling to read and think about: “When citizens must think twice about criticizing or opposing the government because they could credibly face government retribution, they no longer live in a full democracy.”

If you have to repeatedly break the law to arrest those you claim have broken the law, you’re not enforcing the law. ICE has morphed into a terrorizing Gestapo-like goon squad. They must be held accountable.

I've always loved Paul Rudnick's wit.

A man who holds the title of President of the United States, who took an oath to protect and defend the Constitution, who then says he doesn’t know if he’d uphold the Constitution, is unfit to be president and should be removed.

Tariffs are taxation without representation. We wrote a whole Declaration of Independence about it. Threw tea in the harbor and everything.

Things the president of the United States said on meet the press today: He doesn’t know if he has to follow the constitution He’s fine with a recession Americans can do with less Small businesses are just “a couple of little businesses”

Exactly!👇

At least everyone can agree on today’s lede. 🤡

He stood there on Jan 20 and falsely mouthed the words to protect and defend our Constitution. Asked now on Meet the Press if he thinks he needs to uphold the Constitution, he says, “I don’t know.” Translation: No. Woe to America and the utter failure of putting this man back in our Oval Office.

"I do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."

Trump poses as the Pope in full holy garments and gets a pass. Obama puts on a tan suit and they lose their frigging minds. See how that works?

Freedom’s just another word for everything left to win

DOGE initially promised to save taxpayers $2 trillion.  Now it admits it's only delivered $160B in cuts. And even those minimal savings are nearly wiped out by the cost of implementing DOGE's cuts: $135B. We're losing vital government services for basically nothing in return.

Mexican President Sheinbaum confirms that Trump has phoned her to secretly pressure her to allow US troops to enter the country. The president said no to Trump and told him "Mexico's sovereignty is inviolable and it's not for sale."..."We will never accept a US military presence in our territory."

LET THEM EAT CAKE!!!!

Catholic Cardinal says the next pope must move against homosexuals because church doctrine has to be based on what Jesus said. Only problem? Jesus never said one single word about homosexuality. Or abortion. www.joemygod.com/2025/04/card...

I’m so confused by the folks who said that raising the minimum wage would increase the price of every day goods while also being okay with tariffs raising the price of every day goods… I reckon they are okay paying higher prices as long as it doesn’t help anyone making a minimum wage.

The so-called “moderate” GOP position on Medicaid cuts is no cuts above $500 billion. Hello? That would mean 18 million children and 2 million adults with disabilities lose health care coverage, according to the latest estimates. What’s “moderate” about that?

Your kids get a max of two toys and then grow up to work in the same factory as their father and grandfather screwing in tiny screws. It’s called The American Dream.

Our loss will be Canada’s gain. 🤡 #EmptyShelves
